Question

A 1.5-year-old baby often talks non-stop when alone, as if they have an endless supply of words, yet the content they express is still unclear. Moreover, they jump around excitedly at the sound of music. Doctor, is such behavior a part of normal development, or an indication of overactivity?

Answer

Children who love to talk are often beloved, but their constant chatter can also cause parents concern. Parents might worry about their child developing into an undesirable type. It’s recommended to encourage the child to develop other interests and choose activities that parents can participate in together. These activities should be able to stimulate the child’s energy and actions, such as hiking, cycling, playing in the playground, or engaging in board games. These games can attract the child’s attention and reduce their talking time.
